Even though I am going into my junior year of college in August, I am only just about to start my second year in Alpha Phi at San Diego State. I am so excited to experience rush on the other side this time and meet all of the fall '15s. One of the things I’m looking most forward to is having my own Little. I am lucky enough to have the best Big I could imagine, one that I got along with instantly and is always there for me when I need her. I am so excited to find my Little and I can only hope that I find someone who I click with as well as I do with my Big. These are the five things I want most in my Little:
1. Someone adventurous.
Life can get really overwhelming when you’re juggling school and extracurriculars. But it is so important to still make the most of living in a place like San Diego and to experience new things there. I want my Little to be down to go explore new places and head to places like the beach when we’re done class. I also want her to be willing to go try new restaurants and do day trips when we both have the time.
2. Someone who will open up.
I know that I can talk to my Big about anything and she will always give me good advice and be understanding. I want to find a Little who trusts me the same way and is not only willing to listen when I need to talk to her, but is also able to confide in me. I want her to trust that I will be there for her and that she can always talk to me about anything.
3. Someone social.
Starting at a new school is very intimidating and sometimes it seems so much easier to stay in your dorm room where you feel comfortable instead of going out and meeting new people. I know that I struggled with this a lot my first semester at State, but in the end, it is so much better to break out of your comfort zone and do your best to meet as many people as you can. I want to find a Little who is willing to do that.
4. Someone committed.
Everyone is busy and I’d never expect my Little to go to absolutely everything Alpha Phi does, because I know that is very hard to do. But I do think it’s extremely important to put in what you want to get out of the sorority and participate in as much as you can. I want to find a Little who makes time for Alpha Phi.
5. Someone who can make me laugh.
I know this sounds like something you look for in a boyfriend, but I think it’s also an important aspect of friendship. I know that all of my good friends can make me laugh at any given time and that I can always count on having fun when I’m with them. I want the same kind of relationship with my little, where we can joke about things and have fun whenever we’re together.
